Careers
Each year, all students in Year 13 and Year 11 have a one-to-one
career appointment with either Mrs Scaife (Careers Leader) or Mrs
Iversen (Careers Adviser) and this year we have strived to do the
same. The one-to-one appointment we believe, is what brings the
whole of the careers programme together. It’s the opportunity to
discuss individual interests, motivations, qualities and how their
personality could match with a potential career path.
We saw all of Year 13’s and a large number of Year 11’s during the
Autumn term and we have continued to see the Year 11 students during this term, although this has
had to be done via Teams. If your son/daughter is in Year 11 and has not yet had an appointment,
don’t worry, they will be seen. In the meantime, if you have any concerns about applications or need
any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
Week commencing 1 March is National Careers Week. To
celebrate this, tutor time will be career themed including the
Friday quiz. A main focus of the week will be with the Year
7 students. Their lessons will be dedicated to careers in the
curriculum. This will show students how the subjects they
are studying relate to various careers. In our next bulletin we
will be able to show you examples of the assignments done in
English where students have researched the careers of their
parents/carers or a person they admire.
